But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopeles...sness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who ...have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I prefer an income tax, but the truth is I am afraid of the discussion which will follow and the criticism which will ensue if the...re is an other division in the Supreme Court on the subject of the income tax. Nothing has injured the prestige of the Supreme Court more than that last decision, and I think that many of the most violent advocates of the income tax will be glad of the substitution in their hearts for the same reasons. I am going to push the Constitutional amendment, which will admit an income tax without questions, but I am afraid of it without such an amendment.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The decision of the Supreme Court in the income taxes cases deprived the National Government of a power which, by reasons of previ...ous decisions of the court, it was generally supposed that Government had. It is undoubtedly a power the National Government ought to have.... I therefore recommend to the Congress that both Houses, by a two-thirds vote, shall propose an amendment to the Constitution conferring the power to levy an income tax upon the National Government without apportionment among the States in proportion to population ... and second, the enactment, as part of the pending revenue measure, either as a substitute for, or in addition to, the inheritance tax, an excise tax upon all corporations, measured by 2 percent of their net income.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

We reiterate the values [of the family support movement]. We believe that we cannot exist each unto ourselves, that commitment and... a sense of obligation to the welfare of others, to the community, and to the nation are ingredients of being human. We believe that our obligation as members of the community and nation include caring about the next generation. If we care about our own children, we need to care about all children because all will be citizens of this country. We believe that parents want to be good parents. When a child is born, each new mother and father begin their most important life's work, and it is our job to ensure those parents have the concrete and emotional support to be the best parents they can be.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding, for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better tha...n gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
